The new service has removed the requirement for applicants to send original supporting documents by post. In 2025 alone, we received around 13,000 new applications to join the Register.
Applicants wishing to join the dental register can now verify their identity using facial recognition technology, track the progress of their application in real time and submit supporting documents securely from any device once they have created a MyGDC account.
New applicants will also receive direct notifications through their account when action is required, replacing the uncertainty that came with paper-based processing. The Society welcome this change in a world that is rapidly becoming digitally focused and the support infrastructure will be vital.
